Dear Manzi Family, I was very sad to learn of the death of Warren Michael. I was privileged to do many plays with him. He either directed me or we played opposite eachother in 1776, and Butley. All this while members of the award-winning Garrett Players of Lawrence, or The Methuen Playhouse, of that town. He always encouraged the best of us as actors and helped many of us give the most extraordinary performances of our lives. I was also privileged to know his dear mother Flora who welcomed me into her home like a lost friend, laughed at my jokes, comforted me when I was sad or upset, and encouraged me, along with her son, to give my best, always. Because I believe in the everlasting life promised to me by the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, I smile to know that Warren and his Mother are together once again. And I further believe they are once again enjoying the love and dedication they shared here on earth, and gave to so many others whom the knew.
